This is an amazing book! As a librarian, I am very picky about what I read. Somehow Kim managed to share lessons on how to be a good friend without being “preachy”. I can’t wait for the sequel so I can find out how the main character’s first day at school went!”

I was fortunate to get a sneak peek of The Friend Garden. This is an absolutely beautiful book, particularly in the written message of the story. The illustrations are stunning and were done by a 12-year-old girl. I love that Kim found a way to give a young girl this opportunity. But I cannot stress enough the beauty of the writing in this book. The message is very meaningful, for adults as well as for children. This book is a must-have for teachers and parents alike.
